HINDOO WOMEN.

during the ten years of my residence
among the Hindoos," said female mis-
sionary just returned from India, 81
never saw Hindoo child receive caress
from its mother. Scarcely clothed, beat.
en- and despised, it knows hardly where
to lay its head or get its meals. If it is
girl, the mother cannot be fond of it,
for it may be the means of disgrace tc
her. Ii a wife has no male child her
husband may divorce her.
This is changed somewhat when the
child becomes Old enough to be engaged.
This is six years. The affair Is settled
without consulting the poor girl herself.
And who do you think finds the girl g
husband? The barber. He knows the
circumstances of the family and rank in
life as he has to visit the house every day
to shave the male members of the family
before they can pray. He travels some
times weeks anG months through the
country before he can find young mar
riageable man of the same station of life
as the girl For in India there is 10 in

of clay, with no ornamentation of any

Every morning she has to pray-not fol

She doesn't eat with her husband, but

MANAGING FOR EGGS.

In relation to failures in the care Of
fowls, the Dakota Farmer says:
When the poultryman has made his
preparations and begun his operations
he is often disappointed at not receiv
ing fair return IN eggs for the attention
aud care bestowed. The majority OF
failures arise w.th those who have given
the fowls all they can eat, and with a
liberal supply of ground oystersheIls,
ground bone, gravel, fresh water, and
green food, no eggs reward the perserv
ing puutryman. The cause of failure is
that the hens are oveIfed. tt is always
a mistake TO keen food before them, and,
though a variety should be given, care
must be exercised not to feed full meal
except 1T night. Ii the food Is so given
that the hens will not be satisfied with
the quantity they received they will HINT
for more, ana keep busily at work
This avoids idleness aud prevents them
from pulling feathers or becoming too fat
In The morning the soft food may be
given, but it Is best not to give quite
enough rather than a full allowance.
Then scatter few grains in cut straw,
dirt or litter, and they get to work
scratching. At night give a full meal
By keeping the hens warm, busy and il
moderate condition they will lay well.

The Great Problem.

| Following closely on the heels of the
| labor question comes another which
| supplements it and adds features Of
| great importance. 1t is: How shall
! the increasing excess of female popu-
lation be supported?
In the United States the female
| population preponderates in seventeen
states, and these are among the most
populous in the Union. They are Ala
bama, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, and the District
of Columbia. The women in these
States aggregate decided majority.
The large number of workingmen out
of employment naturally deprives
many women of the support to which
they have been previously accustomed,
while the corresponding proportion of
women who are turned off from places
where they were formerly able to win
a subsistence greatly increases the
number of this dependent class. 1t is
estimated that in the United States $780,
900 workingmen are suffering from en-
forced idleness. There must be also
large number of women who are alike
sufferers. All are hoping for good
times to come, when prosperity will
visit all these distressed persons, But
if good times should never come what
thenP The prices of all articles of
prime necessity are very low and no
increase of production is demanded.
Many mills and factories are idle be-
cause they are not needed to do the
work. The army of the unemployed
may be able to live on hope for a season
but finally the end comes. They can
not keep up that indefinitely. What
then?
This is great problem which is to
be solved. A destructive war or a
terrible pestilence which would kill of
some of the supertiuous human millions
would even up the account in some re-
spects. But war would only increase
the number of women in proportion to
the men, and many a bread winner
would be lost to them. In every way
the prospect is not bright for the
softer sex. In default of any other
remedy the men might been driven from
the clerkships and places in stores and
offices and sent into the West and
South, where there are lands to be titled.
True, they would overcrop the markets,
but then they could eat their products.
The agriCulturiSt need never starye
And while the men are occupying the
vacant lands the surplus women can
take their places in stores, offices, fac
tories, and in all places where the labor
is suited 10 the female condition. All
this may seem useless and absurd now,
but these are problems which are to be
solved sooner or later, and sooner than
many expect, The discussion may be
premature, but it is practical. If not,

A Wonderful Discovery.

W. NJ. Lee, the well-known fruit
grower of Tacoma, gives the particu-
| lars of wonderful discovery of bones
| of extinct animals in Washington
territory which attract the attention of
students of natural history and
| archaeology all over the world. In a
letter to the Ledger from Spokane
| Falls he says:
THE face of the whole territory
shows unmistakable evidence of great
volcanic upheavals. On my trip through
Spokane county l stopped at Latah,
and in conversation with Mr.. Coplen
of that place regarding the volcanic
| formation of that section he informed
me that he had examined some large
bones of great antiquity. Accompanied
by Mr. Coplen l went to the spring
where the relics were dug out. 1t is
located on a low strip of springy
prairie. The excavation around the
spring is twelve or fifteen feet deep
and thirty or forty across. The bones
We're covered by several distinct
layers.
The first layer was ancient peat;
then gravel, then volcanic ashes,
then layer of coarse peat.
From this spring were taken no less
than nine elephants, of different sizes,
| the remains of a cave bear, hyenas,
extinct birds, and a sea-turtle. The
| dimensions of some of the bones of the
| larger mammoth were wonderful to
look at The horns were a sort of tusk
and protruded from the head Just be-
low the eyes, extending downward
below the jaws partially resting on the
ground, giving support to the head,
which is estimated to have weighed a
| ton.
1.-The horns were worn away several
inches deep at the bottom of the turn,
or half circle, indicating constant use
by rubbing on the ground or rocks.
One of these horns was ten feet and
one inch long, and twenty-four
inches in circumference. 1t weighed
145 pounds. One of the tusks
measured twelve feet and nine inches
in length and twenty-seven inches
around. 1t weighed 295 pounds. The
jaw weighed sixty-three pounds. The
molar teeth weighed eighteen pounds
each. Some of the ribs were eight
feet long. The pelvic arch was six
feet across, and an ordinary man
could walk erect through this opening.
This huge and antique monster was
eighteen feet and six inches high, and
was estimated to weigh twenty tons.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

During the tumult and excitement of
the late war one of the saddest incidents
that occurred was the marriage and
death of Annie, eldest daughter of Gov.
Pickens, of South Carolina.
April %, 1862, in Charleston, s. G.,
at the residence of Gov. Pickens, party
was assembled to witness the marriage
ceremony of Annie Pickens to Lieut..
LeRochelle.
Terror and anguish were prevailing
throughout the entire South, and the
booming of the Union guns then roared
in the harbors, but the little number
who had collected together had deter
mined to smile even though their hearts
were aching and they were trembling
with terror. Beneath the soft light of
the chandelier the clergyman stood with
the habiliments of the church inshroud
ing his venerable form. Before him was
the noble Lieutenant in his official uni
form, while beside him leaned the beau
tiful and stately woman who was to be-
come his wife
care you ready?" asked the minister,
uuclasping his book. Yes said Lee
Rochelle, taking the hand of the bride.
Scarcely was the answer uttered than
there was an awful crash. A shell from
the enemy's guns had penetrated the
mansion, bursting in the midst of the
marriage scene, and scattering its deadly
missiles around; men trembled and VIC
man screamed, mirrors were shiver5 d
and for moment the wall seemed TO
rock to and fro In a few moments
quiet reigned, and it was ascertained
that the only fatal wound received was
in the left temple of the waiting bride,
who lay like beautiful crushed flower
in the arms of her agonized lover. Lay
ing her on a lounge be bent over her,
and in a moan of despair prayed that
even in death she would become his
wife. Her quick drawn breath, melted
in sigh, as the lips smiled assent The
ceremony was of few words, and the

beneath the husbands kiss. In mo
ment all was over, a little struggle and
she was dead.-AH01ltd Constitution.

The Sex of the Satan.

The sex of the devil is no longer in
doubt, at least in the mind of one
female school-teacher, of whom the
Syracuse Journal tells the following:
There is a young woman teaching in
one of the city schools, who, if her
power of persuasion equals her zeal,
will work discord among the sexes,
annihilate matrimonial prospects,
and produce a decidedly "bearish"
effect on the man market. If
she were a dominic at Andover she
would be on trial for heresy within a
week. A few days ago one of her
pupils, a snuffling and droning school
boy, undertook the herculean labor of
parsing this sentence: 'And the devil
shall be chained for thousand years"
The outlook was that his satanic
majesty's ENHANCEMENT would begin
before the parsing ended. But the
boy finally got to the devil, where, no
doubt, all the listening class and the
nervous teacher devoutly wished
him. 'sDa-a-v'l," he drawled, sis a
